Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Dec. 20, 1910. Applicationfiled April 19, 1910. Serial No. 556,460.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, AUoUsTIN HENTsoHEL, a subject of the German Emperor,and re siding at Berlin, Germany, have invented a certain new and usefulImproved Process of Manufacturing Imitation Fur, of'which the followingis a specification.

The subject-matter of my invention is an improved process ofmanufacturing imitation fur.

In the known processes of manufacturing imitation fur of piled stuffseither the groundwork of the fabric was subjected to strains when thepile was given the required form during the golfering, crumpling,knotting or like operation, or the required form was given to the pileby placing the nap in a definite position, as is the ease e. g. inwhirling, when a binding agel t had to be applied to the material andafterward re moved therefrom.

Now a primary object of my invention is to .produce a durable imitationfur from piled goods without the groundwork of the fabric having to besubjected to strain in any manner and without its being necessary toremove a binding agent therefrom.

According to my improved process I coat the pile facing or nap of thematerial lying on a suitable support with a suitable, thin dressing-massand then make it quite smooth. I then push back the damp hairs of thepile the wrong way a piece at a time by means of a flat-edged implement,e. g.

my process is selected such that it can remain on the material duringthe steaming operation and indeed permanently without impairing theproduct.

I claim The hereindescribed process of manufacturing imitation fur ofpiled goods which consists in moistening the pile facing with adressing-mass, then stroking it smooth, and then crispingv the pile bypushing it back the wrong way a piece at. a time by means of aflat-edged implement, and finally steaming the material.

In testimony whereof, I aflix my signature in the presence of twowitnesses.
